The world's strongest man Eddie Hall was bowled over whilst on holiday in the Algarve recently - after meeting a group of bottlenose dolphins.

The Clayton Colossus - also known to thousands of fans as 'The Beast' - was charmed by the beauty of the dolphins whilst at Zoomarine in Vilamoura, Algarve.

Eddie was on holiday with his wife, Alexandra, and two children.

They took part in the Zoomarine ‘Dolphin Emotions’ programme, where they learnt about the creatures and how they live. The couple then met and interacted with the dolphins within Zoomarine’s tropical lagoon.

Interestingly each dolphin weighs about 530 lbs - only 110 pounds more than Eddie's own weight of 410 lbs!

The visit to Zoomarine took part on the anniversary of Eddie’s win at the World’s Strongest Man event in Botswana in 2017.

In January of this year, Eddie overcame a hip injury to be crowned Britain's Strongest Man - his fifth consecutive British title. He finished in the top two positions in all but one of the events – the Loading Race – to finish on a total of 72 points.
